VIN&VITEN | Life in the Dark Season: How does nature cope, and what can we learn from it?

Illustrasjons-/bannerbilde for VIN&VITEN | Life in the Dark Season: How does nature cope, and what can we learn from it?

When the sun disappears, life in the North doesn’t stop – it simply adapts. Join us for an evening of talks exploring life in the polar night season at The Arctic University Museum of Norway.

Daniel Appenroth will reveal how birds manage the challenges of the polar night.

David Hazlerigg will talk about mammals – especially reindeer – and how their bodies and behaviors change with the season.

Vebjørn Jacobsen Melum will turn to us humans, sharing what we can learn from the animals and offering practical tips for surviving (and even enjoying) the dark season.

Room for questions.

The event is part of the "Wednesday at the Museum" series, featuring extended evening hours and monthly events. Make sure to check out the other events for the night as well!
